New York Identity Theft Attorney
State and federal authorities are cracking down on identity theft and online computer crimes. As a result, prosecutors often level multiple charges against an individual charged with identity theft.
At the Law Offices of Samuel Gregory, we consult forensic accountants, computer experts, handwriting analysts, and other investigative professionals in defending clients charged with identity theft. While there are constitutional issues that surround monitoring internet activity, financial transactions, and wiretaps of phones, there are a number of technological issues that arise regarding internet service providers, bank accounts, and credit card accounts. Our attorneys expose assumptions on the part of prosecutors that rest on little more than circumstantial evidence or innuendo, offering alternative explanations that put the prosecution's version of events in a different light.
Before you talk to police or investigators regarding the charges against you, contact the identity theft lawyers at the Law Offices of Samuel Gregory today to schedule a free, confidential consultation regarding your case.
Forms of Identity Theft
Our criminal defense attorneys advise and represent individuals under investigation or indictment a wide range of computer crimes and indentify theft charges, including the following:
- Credit card fraud
- Stolen Social Security numbers
- Stolen bank account numbers
- Using stolen checks
- Forgery
- Fake IDs
- Fake passports
Challenging Evidence and Refuting Guilt in Identity Theft Cases
In cases involving stolen credit cards, checks, and bank account numbers, prosecutors often try to pin multiple counts of theft related to an account on a single suspect. Even if there is unimpeachable evidence indicating you used a stolen credit card, that doesn't mean you were responsible for all the fraudulent purchases made with it. In cases involving identity theft and online purchases or hacking, the fact that criminal activity can be traced back to your computer or e-mail account does not mean you were sitting at the keyboard when it happened.
Our attorneys expose assumptions on the part of the prosecution that cannot be supported with any hard evidence. When possible, we present testimony and evidence that contradicts information provided by investigators while emphasizing questionable interrogation or investigative tactics.
